Some clicker work

Just a short video of some tricks training - today we started to train crossing paws, just with the right paw to start with, will hopefully have the "end product" soon. I've also started to train a left and right cue - initially to turn around an object (just using my crappy plastic jump stands) but in the long run will use it in agility. At the moment we have zero discrimination between the two but its only been one day! Also a little bit of handstand work, which hasn't progressed much at all, we'll keep trying but I don't think she has the balance to maintain a handstand like some more nimble canines. (as an aside, the new computer has the most annoying and un-user friendly video editing software, its driving me to despair!)

We started back at obedience training last night and back to agility tomorrow, can't wait to start training some real courses!

Wow, training Left & Right - that's ambitious!! I once thought of trying that with Honey too...but soon decided that was probably going to take a lot more work & patience than I would be willing to put in (not to mention a whole lifetime probably - she'll probably just finally learn to distinguish between the 2 and drop dead!). Love the video - Pepper is just such an amazing fast learner and just lover her focus & enthusiasm!
